Popsy Power - a Boston society-wife and her best friend, Sandra seem to have it all with billionaire husbands and beautiful daughters. But things change.
From Bollinger to basic-wage, it's a roller coaster for the ladies who lunch. When the daughters land in a heap of trouble too, it's hardly surprising that their mother should worry about the next generation of Wellesley Wives.
Life can't always be fun in the sun, but that's why there's fur!
Sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful world of the Wellesley Wives.
Sometimes you have to make your own good luck, and something tells me your time is now, so come on. [Emily, Lily's BFF]
As you can see, WELLESLEY WIVES has some crazy entanglements going on and SDuffy untangled the mess in a deliberate manner and next thing you know, you're knee-deep and reacting strongly to the story. I found myself wanting to comfort Popsy and Sandra, I wanted Rosie to kick her husband, Mark, to the curb for being so selfish and I most definitely want to thump Lily's head for her stupidity. It all righted itself in the end and the journey these women took will have you feeling devastated, angry, frustrated, joyful and giddy.
WELLESLEY WIVES is a story about love, loss and the drive to work with what we have and shape our own future. And just like in real life, some of the characters will make you laugh and some will make you want to pull your hair out. These women might be privileged but their hardships and how they responded and dealt with it are experienced by most women from all walks of life. And it is this characteristic that gave the characters resonance and made the story relatable.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway! I'm a big fan of Mary Kay Andrews, so many of her books rank up there for me. I really loved Hissy Fit and Deep Dish though.
